    While not all mt life, I’ve lived in Southern and Central florida for some time. Right now, I don’t see any larger problem with Nazis as anywhere else. What I do see is a bunch of guys all dressed up in costumes demonstrating against something or other trying to get their pictures taken with their cool masks on. These guys are from Maine but they act the fool here. There are a lot of red necks where I live but very few of them pledge allegiance to Hitler. But, you won’t find those that do in Boynton Beach.

      Those are facts. Biggest problem areas from my experience are boon docks central and northern Florida. Central Florida around orlando and further south is still the same as it was a decade ago, not that bad, existent, but not that’s bad.

      Yeah your right the dudes that were protesting in Orlando just recently were from Maine. But I think that’s the point. Those protest have been happening outside Disney for like a year, they just now are getting bigger, and people are traveling to attend them.

      So while Boynton beach is in South Florida, it’s not that much of a hassle for racist to travel a few hours.
